The day finally came; Cordelia Chase was going to Hogwarts. "Maybe I can finally just be popular there" she muttered to herself. She did a lot of that lately. Three people came into the same car she was sitting in on the train.
"Sorry for the inconvenience, but could we sit here? All of the other cars are almost full?" a young girl had asked Cordelia. They seemed a couple of years younger than her.
She gave a small smile "Sure."
The girl that had asked to sit spoke to her again "I'm Hermione Granger, this is Harry Potter and Ron Weasley" she said pointing to the other two as she said their names.
"I'm Cordelia Chase."
"What year are you?"
"Huh? Oh! I think sixth."
"You think?" the red-headed guy asked.
"Yea, I'm new here. They are placing me in that year and then teaching me five years at nights and weekends" she explained while shrugging carelessly.
"We're third years" the brown headed boy answered. He had a small lightening bolt scar on his forehead.
"Cool" she replied.

After long hours, they finally arrived. Cordelia was forced to go on the boats with Hagrid after arguing with him for a few minutes. She sat beside him and looked really funny because she was the only sixteen-year- old out of a bunch of eleven-year-olds.
She talked with Hagrid and found out that she had to be 'sorted' into a house. He explained it to her and she understood it better than she had before. She shrugged again to realize that she understood.
He led all the first years plus Cordy up to the Entrance Hall to where Professor Minerva McGonagall had been waiting for them. "You will be sorted into your houses-Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin." When the woman said 'Slytherin' she had disgust in her voice.
McGonagall led them all into the Great Hall to where everyone was staring at them. She took Cordelia up at the front with her so she would be sorted first. Everyone looked as she and the others walked in.specifically her because she was new.
The Sorting Hat was placed on a stool as everyone walked up. The first years lined up in a straight line facing the Head Table. McGonagall took a long roll of parchment out of her pocket and opened it reading the names and calling them out.
"Cordelia Chase" she shouted so everyone could hear. Cordelia looked around at the others and then stepped up sitting on the stool as the raggedy old hat sat on her head messing up her hair.
The Sorting Hat pondered over her a minute and then finally shouted "Gryffindor". The members from Gryffindor stood and cheered as she walked over with a small smile on her face. She sat beside a really good looking guy and Hermione, the girl she met on the train.
They chatted a lot more like friends.

Cordelia was on her way to classes and looking at her schedule. She had Charms first and got lost looking for it, Hermione showed her the way, but she still got confused at where she was. She wasn't watching where she was going and ran into someone with a few of her books spilling out of her hands.
"Oh great" her hands flew up in the air. "Just my luck." She crouched down with her knees together so no one could see up her skirt.
"I'm sorry" a very sexy voice said. He bent down to help her get the books.
"It's my fault" she said placing a lock of her hair behind her ears with more brown hair coming out. She looked up and smiled at the guy. She recognized him; she sat beside him last night at dinner.
"I'm Oliver Wood" he said bringing himself up and handing her some books.
"Cordelia Chase" she said taking the books. "Thank you" she added.
"Do you need any help?" he asked politely. She nodded her head desperately.
"Where are you going?" she gave him the schedule and he studied it for a minute. "You a sixth year?"
"Yea" she replied. "And I have no idea where anything is."
"It's okay. You're the new girl, aren't you?"
"That's me."
"Looks like we have a few classes together. I can help you out with the classes we have together, otherwise I can only show you the way to some of them."
"Okay, thank you" she replied. He led the way to the charms room and sat right beside of her to help her.
"If you need any help, just ask and I will help with homework or anything like that."
"Okay" her smile widened. He grinned back at her and when she turned to face the front to prep for her studies, he looked her over. His eyes went up and down to study the new girl that arrived at a Wizarding school for the first time in her life.
The way her hair flowed down just past her shoulders and her lips were a perfect size and the chestnut eyes. It all fit together perfectly on her. She looked over at him and saw that he was staring.
"Oh, is something on my face?" she reacted very unusual bouncing up and down shaking her hands like something was on her.
"No, nothing is on your face" Oliver tried to calm her down.
